Another successful round of our two day Handgun Level 1 this past weekend! Our most popular live-fire course offers new and seasoned shooters alike some structured practice time with their own handguns or those provided free of charge by Silvercore.

On day one we discuss a myriad of subjects relating to handgun shooting and delve significantly into the principles of marksmanship. We use the opportunity of the classroom setting to engage in dry-fire drills with deactivated practice guns to get a solid foundation for day two of live-fire at the range. We also have a full laser simulator using our deactivated guns with laser inserts to run drills and range scenarios to help with the skill development making day two that much smoother.

Day two begins immediately with getting into live drills that were practiced the previous day. Marksmanship skill and safety are the focus of the day building the skill-sets students can take away and reinforce on their own at the range. Mixed into the drills is a competition or two and finally a modified Use of Force course of fire to test skill development by the end of day. The day is wrapped up by shooter’s choice skills to work on deficiencies and a section on handgun cleaning and maintenance.

On Tuesday, March 12th, Silvercore provided its instructors a special training day at the Justice Institute of British Columbia range to develop and improve their instruction and shooting skill-sets. The day was taught by Nick Bolton a former VPD police officer, Justice Institute of British Columbia police academy instructor and Firearms Academy of Seattle Master Instructor. The course covered instructional methodology, advanced gun handling and tactical shooting skills at an advanced level. There was even a competition for prizes at the end of the day to keep up the competitive spirit and add some performance stress!

Silvercore prides itself on being Canada’s best, most professional and leading authority on firearms training available to the public market. As such we demand a high level of skill from all of our instructors and continue to educate and test their skills to ensure they perform to high standard as a model to all of our students.

Silvercore provides many different, challenging and exciting live-fire courses to the public and corporate clients in addition to our Federal Canadian Firearms Safety Courses and Federal Use of Force Training. Students who either have a PAL (Possession/Acquisition License) or have taken our firearms safety course are welcome to participate in any of our live-fire training that we offer. Students are at liberty to bring their own firearms and equipment if preferred but in addition to offering the training we also provide all equipment needed by the students including safety equipment and FIREARMS at no additional cost (students must purchase ammunition).

For corporate clients such as our Armoured Car entities needing Use of Force training and Mineral Exploration firms in need of Bear Defence training we can provide entire class sets of firearms and equipment making their training experience unified and cohesive across one specific platform.

Students get to choose between our Glock 17’s, Glock 22’s, Sig Sauer p226’s or even our Smith and Wesson Model 10 revolvers among others…
